Multi-sensory education device

Abstract

An educational tool is provided that allows for multi-sensory utilization to promote learning in a student. The educational tool consists of a learning board having a plurality of sides whereby at least one side comprising a textured characteristic thereon to allow for tactile and kinesthetic manipulation of the board. Additionally, the present invention also utilizes a learning board having at least a second side having a substantially smooth surface whereby the smooth surface would serve to visually stimulate and allow for promotion of responses to the textured side of the board by the student.

         15 . A method for instruction utilizing multi-sensory techniques in an educational environment the method comprising the steps of: providing an apparatus having a first portion and a second portion whereby the first portion and the second portion have at least one of said portions having a first side and a second side wherein at least one of said first side or second side having a textured, contoured surface thereon; at least one of said portions having a first side or second side having a smooth surface for utilization of a writing instrument thereon whereby the first portion and second portion are removably attached to each other; and an opening between said first portion and second portion adapted to allow for removable insertion of an article into the opening. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , the method further comprising the step of: inserting an article having an indicia thereon into the space whereby the indicia is visible through the first portion and the second portion of the apparatus. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , the method further comprising the step of: allowing a user to visually see the indicia through the first portion and the second portion whereby the user can physically touch the contoured surface to trace the indicia with their touch. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , the method further comprising the step of: allowing a user to visually see the indicia through the first portion and the second portion whereby the user is provided a writing instrument to trace the indicia with the writing instrument on smooth surface of the device.
